Rating: 4.25 of 5 Peter Jackson is not Tolkien. I know I’m stating the obvious there but after seeing The Hobbit I’m not sure Peter Jackson is aware of this fact. He’s a talented filmmaker, to be sure; dedicated and visionary and able to produce amazing, epic films. But he isn’t the storyteller Tolkien was . . . → Read More: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 
Rating: 3.25 of 5 When the two Snow White movies were coming out last year, I was curious about both. Mostly I thought Snow White and the Huntsman would be the more enjoyable (though I wasn’t sure about Kristen Stewart) and I thought Mirror, Mirror would be more laughable because I don’t have a lot of . . . → Read More: Mirror, Mirror 
Rating: 3.25 of 5 I’m predisposed not to like Kristen Stewart. But I really wanted to like Snow White and the Huntsman so I hoped, at the very least, she’d be good enough not to ruin it. I thought: Please let her be flat. Please let her be unemotional. I’m ok with either of those. (I . . . → Read More: Snow White and the Huntsman 
Rating: 1 of 5 How many critics, do you think, used the title of this film to describe the film itself? The performances are atrocious; just so painful and awkward. I almost started to list the actors, but that would take took long because really – Every Single One of Them was bad. The writing . . . → Read More: Beastly 
Rating: 1.5 of 5 Going in, this movie had a lot stacked against it. I don’t like Catherine Hardwick. I don’t like Amanda Seyfried. I did not expect much. And really, my expectations were met. The one bright spot was Michael Shanks in a small role. yay! Billy Burke was also really good. Other than that, . . . → Read More: Red Riding Hood 
Rating: 4 of 5 It’s a luxury to make a movie like this because all of the emotional resonance and significance has been created in the prior seven films. The characters are already strong because they’ve been developed and the actors have grown into both the characters and their craft so in a way they’re at . . . → Read More: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 
Rating: 2.5 of 5 Dawn Treader is heavy handed, simplistic and weakly written, beautiful but not really interesting. But before I begin my review, I feel like I need to set the context. I’ve loved the Chronicles of Narnia for as long as I can remember. Different books have been my favorite at different times, but . . . → Read More: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader 
Rating: 3.5 of 5 I feel like I almost have to say that since this is Harry Potter – it’s not bad, no matter what criticisms I have. They’re always well produced, they’re working from good source material, the kids acting gets better with every film. Plus, the world is so richly realized in the films, . . . → Read More: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 
Rating: 1.5 of 5 This has already been out for a week and the reviews have been horrible, so you don’t really need to hear from me. But, in case you’re curious, here’s a reason why… Fundamentally, I think the biggest flaw in this film is that M. Night Shyamalan stayed too close to the source . . . → Read More: The Last Airbender 
Rating: 4.25 of 5 I have to admit I was leary going into Half Blood Prince. Order of the Phoenix was by far my least favorite of the series because of David Yates direction and his whole philosophy about making it the shortest Harry Potter ever. Because I disliked it so much, I couldn’t figure out . . . → Read More: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince |
